Our instruction team
Safe, knowledgeable, passionate
Our raft instructors are all-around rad river people: fun, safe, personable, knowledgable, and passionate about rafting, rowing, and rivers. We are dedicated to providing you with a safe, educational, and memorable experience. While we are river guides and instructors by profession, we also love to get after it as private boaters. We have the skills, knowledge, and experience to set you up for success on your own private river trips.
All of our instructors have credentials that meet the strictest of national and international raft instruction standards, including the International Rafting Federation and the American Canoe Association.

Brodie’s serene demeanor has the ability to bring a sense of peace to even the most stressful situation. While boating whitewater is his primary passion he can also school you at golf and Avengers trivia.
Dustin
“The Professor”
Dustin has spent years collecting certifications and degrees to become the greatest outdoor professional and educator. He is always up for a lively debate about anything river-related: anchors, pins and clips, pushing vs. pulling. Dustin has developed a deep passion for whitewater raft instruction and is excited to get on the river with you
